Staged reading of 'New Golden Age' by Karen Hartman, a dystopian thriller about surveillance and technology, part of the 'Tonight We Shout' cycle by Companhia Cepa Torta.
Brief Introduction Tonight We Shout is a feast of staged readings of theatrical texts, promoted by Companhia Cepa Torta, which in 2026 celebrates 10 years of existence. Held in different locations in the cities of Lisbon and Lagos, and with a wide range of performers under a common artistic direction, the cycle establishes itself as an annual celebration of the theatrical text aloud. Synopsis New Golden Age, by Karen Hartman, finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2023, is an increasingly real fiction. In a near future dominated by a tech mega-corporation that controls and surveils all of society, a set of values we take for granted goes into crisis, where privacy, freedom and autonomy can be replaced by living in a 'perfected' collective reality. The play takes the form of a dystopian thriller that questions the impact of surveillance and technology on human connections and individual freedom. This is an unpublished translation by Mariana Maurício, made especially for this commemorative edition of the festival's 10th anniversary.
